please don't change your password!
After a long week doing a SBS migration I didn't know how to take this article and needed to share it!! http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/04/11/please_do_not_change_your_password/?page=1 Brian ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~
Re: please don't change your password!
Funny ones at that! Question is how often do you have to re enter them, as your tying is so good! ;) On 15 April 2010 22:03, Sherry Abercrombie saber...@gmail.com wrote: Actually, those are considered pass-phrases I do believe. ;) On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 3:57 PM, David Lum david@nwea.org wrote: I am very good at long “passwords”, and so is anyone that can type using correct punctuation. The biggest hindrance to long password use are systems that limit the length of the password. Examples of complex long passwords include: I would like a beer from the refrigerator. Now. Why don’t you close the door ALL the way? You’re not wearing that outside, are you? The person watching me can’t believe how long this password is. And when it’s time to change the long password: I would REALLY like a beer from the refrigerator. Now! Why don’t you close the door ALL the way next time? You’re not wearing that outside, are you? Seriously? The person watching me really can’t believe how long this password is. Etc… I love how big people eyes get when they see my tying in my 27 character Windows password, I HATE the systems that limit me to 15 or less.

Sounds like someone trying to generate reader interest and FUD. A quick search seems he likes controversial subjects/items. Since passwords are the defacto standard for most Internet sites for protection of customers. I see no reason for someone to keep the same password for ever. Unless you are good at generating very long complex passwords.

CAL Licensing Question!
Hi Guys, Hope you can shed some light on this for me, here is the scenario; Domain A: 1 x Domain Controller access by 50 computers (Current CAL licensing 50 Per Server concurrent connection basis) New domain B to be added, and trust set up between the two domains. Domain B: 1 X Domain controller accessed by 10 Computers around 15 people from Domain A will be accessing a small SQL 2005 express database on the DC for domain B as well as the users/devices on Domain A. What would be the best way to set up the CAL's for domain B and how many would we need?? Would the CAL setup need to be changed on Domain A? If you need further info let me know!

Re: CAL Licensing Question!
Cheers for that Micheal, MS said that putting in 10 Device CALS for the computers in Domain B would be enough. Domain A computers/Users accessing Domain B would not need additional CAL's as they are accessing SQL Express! Cheers Brian 2009/7/9 Michael B. Smith mich...@owa.smithcons.com IANAL/B/S (lawyer/barrister/soliciter) - and as far as I know, no one else here is either. I can make some guesses on how I would pursue this, but there is more information required than you state in your email. http://microsoft.com/licensing - you'll find telephone numbers for your locality, you do not have to identify yourself, and even better - you can document the call and use it to verify your licensing decision for the future! -- *From:* Brian Clark [brianclark2...@googlemail.com] *Sent:* Thursday, July 09, 2009 7:07 AM *To:* NT System Admin Issues *Subject:* CAL Licensing Question!
